What is a saved Christian?
There is a magic god fairy hiding somewhere in the universe. It is a loving god. This loving god loves the Christians who suck up to it. Those Christians are saved. Saved from what? Saved from being tortured by their loving god.
Of course the whole thing is bullshit but here in Idiot America most of the population believes this "saved" fantasy is real. These fucktards for Jeebus are cowardly, gullible, and insane. They live in a everything-is-magic fantasy world. Reality makes them cry.
Wikipedia: Salvation in Christianity
Salvation in Christianity, or deliverance, redemption is the "saving of human beings from death and separation from God" by Christ's death and resurrection and the justification following this salvation. Christians partake in this redemption by baptism, repentance, and participating in Jesus' death and resurrection.
While the idea of Jesus' death as an atonement for human sin was derived from the Hebrew writings, and was elaborated in Paul's epistles and in the Gospels, Paul saw the faithful redeemed by participation in Jesus' death and rising. Early Christians regarded themselves as partaking in a new covenant with God, open to both Jews and gentiles, due to the sacrificial death and subsequent exaltation of Jesus Christ.
Early Christian notions of the person and sacrificial role of Jesus in human salvation were further elaborated by the Church Fathers, medieval writers and modern scholars in various atonement theories, such as the ransom theory, Christus Victor theory, the recapitulation theory, the satisfaction theory, the penal substitution theory, and the moral influence theory.
Variant views on salvation are among the main fault lines dividing the various Christian denominations, including conflicting definitions of sin and depravity (the sinful nature of humankind), justification (God's means of removing the consequences of sin), and atonement (the forgiving or pardoning of sin through the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus).
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
